The welcome was warm, the hospitality was friendly and the help and suggestions with restaurants was terrific. Everything was clean and well kepy from the decor to the incredable breakfast. We would definitley stay here again.

truly a delightful place to stay, the carriage house has all that you would want in a B&B. Very nice staff, including the housekeepers who are fun and always there to offer ahelping hand. The location is just perfect, close to all the amazing shops and nightlife that this tiny town has to offer. We will be back.

great guesthouse with fab rooms and common space. everything is well taken care of. the rooms are incredibly clean with cool furnishings. The linens and towels are new and good quality, not usually the way in small b&b's. We had a fantastic weekend, the recommendations for dinner and nightlife were spot on, thanks to Angus who was the most helpful member of staff.

great guesthouse at the tip of cap cod in funky provincetown. the owner and staff are very friendly and helful. they even picked us up and dropped us back to the ferry, mygirlfriend is pregnant and we had a lot of luggage. The rooms are the best part, large and clean with and entrance to the outside so you can come and go without disturbing anyone, makes it more private. We will definitley return to the carriage house the next time we stay in provincetown.

The carriage house was just fanatstic in every respect. The rooms are beautifully decorated and and all come with their own private bathrooms. The location is ideal, close to all the stores and restaurants. The staff were very helpful with information about the town including a great recommendation to dine at the red inn. We will definitely be back.

Simply put, the carriage house in provincetown was a fantastic place to stay while vacationing on cape cod. We also stayed on martha's vineyard and chatham but this house surpassed both off those and at a cheaper nightly rate too. The rooms are very nice, all similar in style and size. we looked forward to the breakfast each day and the location was perfect - right in the middle of town just off the main drag so you were close but but not on top of everything. You will not regret it.

We (BA crew) were on a stop over in Boston and decided to try ptown for a night. We found the carriage house on WCities and thought given the reviews it must be good. We were very impressed, the rooms are beautifully decorated, very contemporary, beachy feel to the property. Breakfast was tremendous, great selection and it's location as they say in the advertising was perfect. We would definitely stay here again when we come back for a longer stay.

this guesthouse was recommended by my brother and I have to thank him for letting us know, this guesthouse is amazing, rooms are beatiful and modern, not stuffy and antique....it has a real beachy feel to it. The free breakfast is also great, I would go back just for the quiche! everyone was very friendly and it is just the perfect size..not too crowded...feels a little exclusive.

the carriage house is everything you expect a great B&B or guesthouse to be, quiet and intimate, friendly but professional, nothings too much to ask. They were full of information about the town and where to eat. The rooms are great, bright and well decorated. We had a corner room with a deck which was just beautiful. They were kind enough to show us the other rooms which were equally as nice. It's close to everything but not on the mail drag which can noisy. Give them a try you will love it!

It was awsome, hot tub every night, fab breakfast every morning...if we got up! all the rooms were lovely and really liked the nice touches like champagne and chocolates in our rooms on new years eve.

We stayed here for a few days and found it to be the best choice of our entire trip. We had been travelling all over New England, staying at small inns and hotels, but many of them were dirty and noisey (especially in the mornings and at night). Not so at the Carriage House. Very nice staff, lovely breakfast, good location, quiet guests and NO KIDS!! Big rooms, too. We're coming back next fall for a longer stay.

Quiet simply It's the best
what an excellent stay at this small out of the way b&b in ptown. You wouldn't even know it was there, hidden on a side street close to the center. lots of communal outdoor and indoor space, amenities included a hot tub and sauna which we never used but a fab breakfast served until 11am that we took full advantage of. Order the waffles, there are the best I've had! our room was on the second floor at the corner of the house overlooking the parking lot, 6 I think? not much of a view but bright and cheerfully decorated. I would stay there again.

Not having been to a B&B before I did not know what to expect but the carriage house lives up to it's website by letting you help yourself to everything. There is no requirement to get to breakfast at a certain time or have to be quiet late at night, you can come and go without having to see anyone ...it's great! just what I wanted. Breakfast was yummy, especially the quiche. Coffee was very good and refilled by a ghost because it was never empty. The room was large and had everything you would expect except for bath robes which given how wonderful everything is I wondered why they had not put them in. All in all a great stay and I will go back next year.

What a lovely B&B located right in the center of ptown. I've been to town many times but never heard of this guesthouse, though there must be a hundred B&B's in provincetown. Anyway this was a referral from a friend and it was a good one. We got an upgrade to a suite with a roof deck (just because!) ...it was still available when we arrived, this will give you an idea of how nice Angus, Ken and Staff are. The room was clean and bright, cheery and recently furnished, they serve a fantastic breakfast and have a number of amenities such as a hot tub and sauna, off street parking and molton brown bathroom amenities.
